Lakeithia Clayton, LCSW

Lakeithia Clayton is an LCSW who practices in Louisiana. She brings a clear focus to everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and mood concerns. Her work also addresses caregiver strain, grief, and aging and geriatric issues. She speaks English and draws on several practical therapy styles to help people move forward.

She centers sessions on what matters to each person. Conversations look at patterns, choices, and small steps that make life easier. Clayon uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of acting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings without being ruled by them.

She also uses client-centered methods, which means the conversation follows the client's priorities and pace. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want change but feel stuck or uncertain. Narrative therapy can help reframe painful stories and open new possibilities.

Lakeithia has five years of direct clinical experience as an LCSW and a broader background in social work practice. That background informs practical problem solving and attention to life transitions like parenting changes, career shifts, and end-of-life concerns.

Sessions are aimed at building coping skills, improving communication, and easing caregiver burden where relevant. The overall tone is collaborative and respectful, with a focus on realistic, doable steps. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors, useful for stress, mood issues, and relationship patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s own goals and pace at the center of therapy. The therapist follows your concerns and supports exploration and decision making rather than directing it.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Over time, techniques can be mixed or adjusted based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. The main practical benefits are convenience and flexibility: sessions can fit into a workday, reduce travel time, and make follow-up easier. Different methods also suit different situations - some work well for short problem-focused work and others for deeper personal change - and the therapist will help decide which is best for you.
